"BRAHMO AHAM" - UNDERSTANDING THROUGH ADWAITA:

Continuing the discourse LordBrahma tells Narada the principles of Adwaita.

The one which has been understood as "BRAHMAM" by the Rishis, is the self sustaining Parama Purusha (Parama Atma). That is ever permanent, ever sustaining and at all times without any change. It has equanimity at all times, fearless, and has no characteristic of sadness and at the same time ever blissful. It is beyond all the shapes and forms, beyond senses and materials, very pure, essence of the all the knowledge, and the Atma itself.

It is beyond the sound and not affected by the results of actions. Even Its own special powers known as Maya Shakti has no effect on It. When a person understands correctly this Parama Purusha he need not go anywhere in search of any thing. Such a person understands the concept of "BRAHMO AHAM". Thus he has no dual concepts. It is like Indra is the owner of water. Showering rains is within his own powers.

That being so he need not go in search of water or dig a well for water. (Stanzas 47 & 48).
